Cytokines are crucial regulators of the immune system that orchestrate interactions between cells and, when dysregulated, contribute to progression chronic inflammation, cancer, and autoimmunity. Numerous biologic-based clinical agents, mostly monoclonal antibodies, have validated cytokines as important targets now part standard care for a number diseases. These while impactful, still suffer from limitations including lack oral bioavailability, high cost production, immunogenicity. Small-molecule cytokine inhibitors attractive alternatives can address these limitations. Although targeting cytokine-cytokine receptor complexes with small molecules has been challenging research endeavor, multiple small-molecule identified, them undergoing evaluation. In this review, we highlight recent advancements in discovery development soluble cytokines. The strategies identifying novel ligands well structural mechanistic insights into their activity represent milestones tackling clinically protein-protein interactions.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory immune-mediated disease characterized by musculoskeletal inflammation (arthritis, enthesitis, spondylitis, and dactylitis), generally occurs in patients with psoriasis. PsA is also associated uveitis bowel (Crohn’s ulcerative colitis). To capture these manifestations as well the comorbidities, to recognize their underlining common pathogenesis, name of psoriatic was coined. The pathogenesis complex multifaceted, an interplay genetic predisposition, triggering environmental factors, activation innate adaptive immune system, although autoinflammation has been implicated. Research identified several immune-inflammatory pathways defined cytokines (IL-23/IL-17, TNF), leading development efficacious therapeutic targets. However, responses drugs occur different tissues involved, resulting challenge global management disease. Therefore, more translational research necessary order identify new targets improve current outcomes. Hopefully, this may become reality through integration omics technologies that allow better understanding relevant cellular molecular players In narrative review, we aim provide updated overview pathophysiology, including latest findings from multiomics studies, describe targeted therapies.

Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), showing high infectiousness, resulted in an ongoing pandemic termed disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 cases often experience distress syndrome, which has caused millions of deaths. Apart from triggering inflammatory and immune responses, many viral infections can cause programmed cell death infected cells. Cell mechanisms have a vital role maintaining suitable environment to achieve normal functionality. Nonetheless, these processes are dysregulated, potentially contributing pathogenesis. Over the past decades, multiple pathways becoming better understood. Growing evidence suggests that induction by may significantly contributes infection pathogenicity. However, interaction SARS-CoV-2 with death, together its associated mechanisms, is yet be elucidated. In this review, we summarize existing concerning molecular modulation as well viral-host interactions, shed new light on antiviral therapy against SARS-CoV-2.

Our recent study showed that Nitazoxanide (NTZ), an FDA-approved anti-parasitic drug, prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss by inhibiting osteoclast activity. However, there have been no investigations to determine whether NTZ has preventive potential in other resorbing diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, the primary RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS) and collagen-induced (CIA) murine model were used evaluate effect of NTZ. The results potently inhibited proliferation, migration invasion capacity RA-FLS a dose dependent manner restraining cell entry into S phases, without induction apoptosis. obviously reduced spontaneous mRNA expression IL-1β, IL-6 RANKL, as well TNF-α-induced transcription IL-6, MMP9 genes. terms molecular mechanism, significantly basal or activation JAK2/STAT3 (T705) NF-κB pathway, but not MAPK STAT3 (S727) phosphorylation.
